My programmers need an IPv6 compatible router to replace an old Cisco Catalyst 4000 router that is current doing basic routing and has four ethernet interfaces. We are a very small business so cost is a major consideration. For this reason, I think I am going to have to pick up something used or remanufactured. My concern is that because I'm not a networking professional, I am going to get tripped up by purchasing a router without the right IOS version or miss a required feature set or other component.
I seem to keep coming back to a Cisco 2821 with has two ethernet interfaces. From what I'm reading, I think I will need Advanced IP Services (form IPv6) but I can't seem to find clear confirmation that I can get a 2-port ethernet network module to give me a total four interfaces? Of course, I am open to other suggestions also.
Thank you for your time and thoughts.
